NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK
I had to go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art for an assignment for one of my art history classes. We had a few exhibits to choose from and I picked the Egyptian one. I don't know what it is about ancient Egyptian art, but I love everything about it and it's my favorite part of ancient western art.
These were my favorites.
I picked this piece for my assignment and took a ton of photos cause there's no way I'm gonna stand there and draw this thing from different angles. Some guy came up to me while I was taking photos of it and we started talking and walking around. I could tell he was somewhat into me (bumped shoulders, put his hand at the small of my back for brief moments) but at the same time I wasn't sure if that was the way he just acted and I DON'T KNOW WHEN THE RIGHT TIME IS TO TELL SOMEONE I HAVE A BOYFRIEND. Relatable video here. We ended up exchanging numbers and the next day he asks how my day was and I said I went shopping. Then he said "buy anything sexy?" and I flipped my shit saying that it's totally inappropriate and uncomfortable for me since we only met the day before. So proud of me for standing up for myself, because usually I wouldn't reply and I'd ignore them forever.
A lot of their pieces are so tiny. We went over cylinder seals (second picture) in class, and I always thought they were at least the size of a water bottle - nope! They're even smaller than from knuckle to knuckle on my fingers.
It's really interesting to me that they covered this statue in another stone, but a lot of the parts got worn away.
Some other miscellaneous things. I fell on my back kind of recently and it hurt to carry my camera, so I didn't go to see any other exhibits. Which is kind of a good thing, because that means I can go back another day. Honestly I'd say you would probably need two days to fully explore the museum. I was only in the Egyptian exhibit and that took a good 2 or 3 hours!
